I must say that this was certainly a very dramatic way to start this short-lived series. Tony Bill did an excellent job acting out this scene. I can only imagine how hot things were just after the war. This old man, I'm sure, wasn't as old as he looked. After all, prison camp turned many young men into old men.
Also, the scene where Colton killed the young confederate boy...16 or 17 years old...that made me stop and think, because I'm sure many found themselves in such a position. The war was over, yet Colton hadn't received word yet...not until AFTER he had run the boy though. I cannot even imagine the emotions that go through a person when they learn that they killed a man when they didn't have to. What did he say a one point? Five minutes later and it would have been called murder...
Anyways, for a first episode, I was very impressed! It's probably one of my favorites, because it's the one I remember the most after watching them a couple years ago...
